The slightest crackle or buzz and I'll be on the phone. Point is though for any of you professional audio guys, the concensus is not to worry....right?!

Nothing stopping you from letting the dealer know that this sort of nonsense does nothing to enhance the new buyer experience, especially when it's with a vehicle that is supposed to be the saving grace from a company that had one foot in the grave. The prep crew needs to get the memo that they are a critical link in the customer experience process. Wow, this should be Customer Service 101...

Trust me, the speakers can handle it. I have been attempting to blow the speakers every day with the most obnoxious, loud, teeth rattling bass that the system can handle, always turned all the way up, ALL the way up. They wont blow. I'll try again tomorrow.

The speakers seem to hold the bass real well for a factory system. The amp and speakers are clearly of above average quality. They will hold, trust me.

If DJ Magic Mike didn't blow them in my car then nothing that the person in your car before you was listening to will blow yours, or affect the sound in any way shape or form.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the artist that is DJ Magic Mike, it's all about the bass.

DJ Majic Mike - his cassette has gone MP3!?

I sincerely doubt any damage was done to your new ride, however - with a warranty, I'd be sure to "test" it once more (or, maybe once weekly) to make sure it is OK over the next 30k miles. May I suggest some bass rich rock like the new Foo Fighters CD, Serj Tankian, A Perfect Circle, or maybe some sweet old school hiphop like A Tribe Called Quest?

I too would be a little annoyed that the radio was left on "full monty" for you, that kind of crap should be eliminated by the service manager who is supposed to put his hands on the vehicle last before delivery. That is a shame.
